Is this stool difficult to "scoot" instead of lift on a vinyl floor? Limited mobility, need it to sit and cook and I am little weak.

You can easily slide the bar stool when no one is sitting on it. It is not safe to sit on the bar stool and try to move it.

It is a bar height stool. The ends caps are secure and it is level. It should scoot across smouth floors.

it can be adjusted for sloping floors. each leg has an adjuster knob on the bottom that can raise or lower to fit the floor. however, it is an angled stool, so it is not as stable as a regular square/four leg stool. I'm perfectly happy with mine, but I do need to tighten the screws holding the legs on occasionally.

This a great stool ! It is hydraulic and raises and lower about 4 inches. The wheels on this model are better the other models I have tried and can be replaced with 3 " wheels for a reasonable price when the need arises . I recommend !!

Have not tried. The stool is stable when the person is stable. Please consider using a plastic chair. Rust could become a problem drainage, etc.

Hi James, thank you for your interest in Drive Medical! This foot stool weighs 6 pounds and should be easy to be moved.

I use it inside and outside. It is very sturdy - I use it for a stool and it flips right over and I can get up and down with it with no problems - it's great!

It wheels easily, yet I have to be careful not to push it forward on large sidewalk cracks. It will easily maneuver over cracks or gravel if I pull it behind me on the larger back wheels. It is fairly sturdy. I learned from experience that I do not recommend going up/down stairs with it when it is full: I had a laptop and an Ipad, file folder, my medical supplies and moved it up/down a set of four steps 4-8 times into a mobile home that did not have a ramp. One of the back wheel poles got bent, and I had to order another Polder cart. The lightness of the aluminum is worth it to me. I cannot find anything more sturdy that is as portable. I now pick the cart up by the basket if I have to go up stairs- only a few. Otherwise I would carry my supplies in their bags on my shoulders and leave the cart in my car.

It's not easy to go over threshholds because the wheels are relatively small. Have to wrestle with it. A regular wheelchair works better there, with a notch on the back that the steering party can put their foot on to raise the front wheel slightly as needed. & the large wheels make it easier to push too. Can't speak to carpet, but almost tumbled my Mom out trying to do down a cobble stoned ramp at an art show in the streets. This chair is handy sometimes, but a real wheelchair probably works best for long-term situations. Mom used it to push her laundry to the laundry room yesterday...

It's not light, but as a small female I have carried it up and down stairs myself, and feel like with some effort I could manage to get it up in an rv cab. It's more an issue of it being long and wanting to unfold, so with two people I don't think you'll have any problem.

You certainly can, but this is a heavy piece of cookware so you probably don't want to slam it down, and you should lift it to move it rather than slide it around to avoid scratching your cooking surface.

You should not regret the purchase as it should work quite nicely for you! I know our stool gets used often and never even has been folded! Best Wishes!

We lift and move ours all the time, no problem. But it's kind of an awkward shape to carry up & down a long staircase. Maybe if you did it all the time you'd get used to it - I don't know.

Hi Patti, I'd like to believe that this stoll would be more than enough for her. I honestly believe that my situation was a fluke. I actually still use my stool nearly every day. I believe this stool will prove to be fine for your needs. The step and platform are fairly strong and should give her comfortable support.

I returned the lift because even though it was smaller then most lifts unless your bathroom has a very large door and plenty of room you will probably not be able to maneuver it.y suggestion is to get a physical therapist in your house to advise you.

The idea is that you will sit well above the ground - your feet will not reach the ground. You don't sit "down" - you raise your bum up into it. Think of a bar stool. You can hoist yourself up using the bar that's low in the front. It should be fine IMHO

With much difficulty. I have bought many carts these past two years and I was sure this one would do it. I am disabled and live on a second floor with no elevator. I have tripped twice going down and it is scary. Coming up is a dream but you feel the weight of it. You have to hang on to something, railing, so you don't fall backwards. Still, this is the best I have found out there. Give it a try. Maybe you can do better than me. Let me know! Good luck!
